    Checkerboard with storage

    Made this for a friend who has a grandson that is into chess. This time I took some pics as I went along so I can post here in the how to. I won’t spend any time on the board since there are tons of YouTube videos on how to do that. Here is the board mounted on some 3/8 plywood in a cherry...

    Hand saw sharpening advice needed……

    I have a couple of old handsaws I got super cheap to practice sharpening. They are actually nice saws - one is a Disston and the one I am working on is a 7 point Atkins… both of the plates are pretty bad so I don’t know if I will get a user out of them, but if I learn how to sharpen them I will...

    Progress on my latest table - update 7/29

    Got the chess pieces all made and couple coats of poly on them. Also made the parcheesi parts and colored them with alcohol ink….. didn’t come out too great but yuo can tell them apart. Had to make another way to store the checkers so I added a small box that fits in the center of the storage...

    Check this off my to do list…..

    I have intended to make these for quite a while and finally got around to it….. actually the plane driver was the plan but I had the lathe out so I made the saw nut tools as well .. the skinny steel is just from an old bandsaw blade and the other two are from a retired edger blade, shaped to...

    Ready to finish

    Got all the parts made. Had a small slab of walnut and figured it would do as a low coffee table. Not the prettiest piece and lots of worm holes and saw marks. I left a lot of that visible - I can always remove it if I don’t like it after I put a few coats of waterlox on it… I wanted to do legs...

    First.bowl.ever

    Playing with the lathe and trying things with scraps. Had a block of glued up red oak and figured I would try a little bowl…..had a couple catches so this definitely looks ”hand crafted” ahem….. but it was fun… not sure what I will finish this with, but thinking some kind of wax…..it’s little...

    It's that time of year......

    We're having Thanksgiving tomorrow so I spent today on the lathe..... I don't turn a lot so it was great to practice and I figure my granddaughters will paint these up..... had a couple catches so as you can see one of my Christmas trees became a mushroom..... it will fit in with the fairies and...

    Thanks Charlie

    Visited Charlie this morning for his primer on segmented turning. My brain still hurts a little but learned a ton and am so grateful we have members like Charlie that are super talented and willing to teach..... So many takeaways but the "sand in the paint can" clamp was brilliant... thanks...

    Latest game board

    Just finished this one (was supposed to be a table leaf but that didn't work out...) So instead I put parcheesi on one side and a checkerboard on the other. Since I had no idea what to bring to Klingspor this Saturday - well now I do..... There is a plywood center to keep the movement down..

    HTC unisaw mobile base

    This came from Touchwoods unisaw, and it works just fine. You can see some wear in the wheels but it rolls smooth and turns easily. Make a $20 donation to the club and it's yours.

    New to me unisaw

    I picked up Touchwoods unisaw today - thanks Donn, Doug, and Dan..... there is a puzzle and thought maybe the group would know .. the saw has both a male, and female plug coming out of the swtchbox. The male one I know what to do with but I don't know the purpose of the female.... my guess is...

    Moving a unisaw

    How to move a unisaw? I have done some reading and it seems like the way to do this is to flip it upside down in the back of my pickup. If I do that - do I still need to worry about damaging the Trunion- and if so, how can I avoid that? I have never been inside one of these saws so am a little...

    Anyone need either of these? GONE

    Free to a good home. I haven't used the dowel jig in years and the shop vac is pretty old and kinda loud, but works, and has a newish filter. I can bring to the picnic tomorrow.

    Hansel & Gretel table

    She asked for a small table and the idea was that it would look like something in a tale like Hansel and Gretel.... or any of the Grimm fairly tales... First time turning legs, and first time setting the legs at an angle.... Would have liked to see some carvings or some sort of design on the...

    Barnwood - first time and probably my last -update finished!

    My neighbor had an old barn on a family property. It has a lot of sentimental value to him, and he asked me to make a table out of it...... couldn't say no...... but is accustomed to working with flat, square stock...and this ain't..... So there is a lot of bug eaten stock here and after getting...

    Another little cherry table.....

    I just love the looks of the simple cherry table.... Had a tough time with the finish on the top. I thinned some poly and put a few coats on (satin) but it kept leaving lines when it dried... When I tried to level them, 0000 steel wool, then 2000 grit paper, made it cloudy... finally I took a...
